2016 Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett, Weingut Willi Schaefer

There is so much energy and depth here, with spices and remarkable mineral depth. This is a wine that will age for years, but it could be impossible to keep your hands off it.

Tasting notes

Apple blossom, honeysuckle and clover on the nose reemerge as seductive inner-mouth perfume on a polished palate, accompanied by a juicy abundance of fresh apple, grapefruit and white peach. The delicacy and refreshment, not to mention lusciousness of fruit, conveyed on this Kabinett’s lingering finish render it almost impossible for me to spit. “It was like that already in February,” remarked Christoph Schaefer with a grin.
